Does it feel like your business is outgrowing your IT company? As if your technology were a bottleneck, holding you back, when the whole point of technology is to pave the way forward? *You aren’t alone.* Small businesses are reliant on IT, and in turn that sort of shackles the small business to whoever they hire to consult and support their technology. That could be an in-house person, or more than likely, an outsourced IT company. But just like how some pizza places are better than others, not all IT companies are going to get your business the same results, especially as you scale and your demands increase.

Well, there are actually two separate products called Defender, with a big difference between them.

Any business that has a solution it relies on can sympathize with the situation. After all, if you lose access to your critical business apps for several days, would your operations be able to recover?
